Hi there. First time posting after a long time lurking.

A friend spotted a NIB Graco Nautilus on Craigslist for me (love her!!!) for $100. Woo-hoo. Before I get excited, I wanted to be prepared with a few questions regarding it's age. What is an acceptable date of manufacture for this seat if I were to buy it and use it now?

Is there anything else that you would ask?


Thank you,
jennifer

For $100, I'd be okay with up to two years old (24 months, not 35).

Graco uses end of year expiration dates. The shell is stamped "Do not use after December 20XX" with the XX being 6 years from the year it was made (9 for lowback booster mode). A January DOM should expire the same as a December DOM. The GN didn't even hit the shelves until Feb 08. The first manufactured were 11/07, so you can't get older than 24 months anyway.

Any DOM is fine for a $100 NIB GN. :twocents: but if it's an 08 I'd still offer $75 and see what they said. ;)

You know, I didn't even think about when they became available. These kids are eating my brain. :)

I never received a call back, so i took as a not meant to be deal. I ended up ordering Wilkes from Target. $143 and change including shipping & tax. Not bad/ I know not many like the tan and grey combo, but I prefer that to the mesh-like fabric.

If he does get back to me, I might just offer him the $75 and give that to my parents to use. Hmmm...

Thanks for all of your help!
